Have you ever been mistaken for something else?

[BlueGam]

I've just had people ask if I'm Chinese or Japanese and I'm Vietnamese. Never really understood why people always ask those two particular nationalities. There are other Asian countries...

 

[Xia Rocks Your Butt]

No, I look very Hmong. But some people think I look very white-wash, or that I don't speak nor act very Hmong. xP I think I'm pretty fobbed.  

[King Henry]

I'm Vietnamese, but people always think I'm Chinese. How typical.  

[Thats Not Funny GUYZ]

I've been mistaken for Chinese before. But that doesn't bother me because I'm part chinese. xP

Well once there was this new student I didn't know about (he was from thailand). And my friend introduce me to him , but both of us didn't know we were from the same country so we spoke english. Then my friend was like "Why are you speaking english he's from the same country as you" and that guy replied " You're from thailand? You look like you're from Phillipi and I was like =___= ...

Other than I've been mistaken for Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Indonesian, and that's about all.

Where I live...if your asian, most of the people would call you chinese.
Which is what's happened all my life, since i've been livin in the same place. people think im chinese when im really japanese.
It just annoys me when non-chinese people think im chinese and starts talking to me in what they think is chinese..when in reality it just some made up stupid words.
*sigh*

Here goes...

I am Filipino.

But my skin is dark and my eyes are a bit round, so people think I'm Mexican or Spanish.
I have black hair in a bob-cut and I'm pretty smart, so most people assume I'm Chinese.
My last name is the same as the name of an Italian city, so sometimes people think I'm Italian. But that last name is also a very popular French surname. eek  

[BreathingIsFun]

Filippino here, wow lots of filippinos i see. whee

Some elder Hispanics start talking to me in Spanish. " lol I was mistook for Hasian O.o not sure how though. I think it was my giant curls. I swear I feel awkward when I see I'm the only filippino with curly hair.
I was mistooken for a boy when I had a giant bow in my hair gonk  

[s0ur_Candy]

I'm full-blooded Filipina, but @ my school almost everyone gets surprised when I say so. They're always like O.o
Most say I look like a Latina..
and some think I'm half Italian just cuz my boyfriend is half Filipino, half Italian. whee
